The Wichita EAGLE says that some one
has proposed to read its editor out of the
Republican party. The Champion will
take pleasure, at all times. in testifying to
the stalwart, always faithful Republican,
ism of Marsh Murdoch, and if any such
attempt is made, Marsh can depend upon
the Champions hearty upport-Atchison
Champion.
The good will of the Champion is appre.
ciated. A friend is no less valued because
one does not happen to be in condition
where help is desired. We believe the
Champion would come to the rescue were
his Republicanism called in question.
But happily for the EAGLE and the Cham
pion. Marsh Murdock's Republicanism is
not OF the sort that needs any defense. 1t
Is the pure mettle that passes current, and
is legal tender. The Champion can render
the EAGLE favor by contending for the
old land marks of Republicanism and in
sist in keeping the pilgrims from turning
away to the side-shows and Vanity Fairs
of politics that may seem for the moment
to be political pleasure resorts. All such
are decisions and will bring trouble to
faithful republicans who desert the we'll
beaten highway trodden by such republic
ans as Lincoln and Grant.

The message Of Governor Sawyer to the
legislature of New Hampshire is an unus-
ually able and sensible document. What
he has TO say on the labor question is es-
pecially refreshing after the demagogic
twaidle with which so many public men
feel bound to treat the subject Governor
Sawyer is himself one of the leading mau-
ufacturers of the state, and of the largest
employers of labor. While, " he says. lit
would be unwise and contrary TO the spirit
of our institutions for the state to make
laws that would interfere with the the free
dom of individuals in the transaction of
lawful business, to buy or sell
when, where, with whom, and
upon such conditions as may suit their
own will and convenience, yet ii is right
and proper TO establish such limitations by
general and practical laws and regulations
as will serve to protect the worker from
undue hardships, which often result from
business competition He accordingly
favors ten hour law for manufacturing
establishments. weekly payment of wages,
the exemption Of the wages of lsborers
from attachment for debt, the establish
ment OF board of arbitration or media
ton for the adjustment of differences be
tween employer and employed. and
bureau OF statistics to collect information
regarding industries for the benefit of the
people. These are practical and sensible
recommendations entirely within the
proper sphere OF the law making power.

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

There is considerable speculation i'm Eu
rOpean diplomatic circles nowadays as to
the relative position which France and
Russia hold to each other A Franco Rus.
sian alliance, it is affirmed, has been con
summated Nothing of positive nature
has ever been said by either government on
the matter, but it is fair to suppose such
an alliance exists From military point
of view, little could be gained just now.
The alliance has doubtless been consum.
mated more as preventive of war than
with view tn al increased amoAnt Of
power In case of an outbreak. There can
scarce be any doubt that the fear of an at
tack by Russja upon Germany's rear, were
the latter moved to attack the French
again, is acting as potent check upon
Germany's belligerent proclivities. Russia
halted Bismarck in 1875, when the Iron
Chancellor, alarmed at the rapid recovery
of bis late foe, was about to
pounce once more upon the
country. Were the occasion to return.
Russia would do the same again to day.
Both countries are admirably located to
prevent the ambitious aggrandizement of
Germany, either to the east or west. On
this basis, the alliance is a perfectly nat
ural one. There is also another reason:
The first class powers of Europe to-day are
England, Germany, France and Russia.
Austria and Italy form the second class
powers; and then bunch of third class
powers that exist by sufferance of the rest:
Spain, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Greece,
Switzerland, the Slavic people and the
Turk. In a continental contest England
would surely sympathize with the German.
Her natural antipathy to Russia, which she
is constantly and jealousy watching, is
well known. An alliance on her part with
France is very improbable, and of course
one of France with Germany is altogether
out of the question. Russia hates the
TeutOn almost as cordially as do the
French, and will not form an
alliance there. Such are the circum.
stances OF the great quartet, then.
France and Russia appear isolated. 1t is
not strange that under these circumstances
France and Russia should have formed an
alliance They can possibly have little to
lose, and may have much to gain. This
union In no way threatens the peace of
Europe: 1t rather tends to balance things
more evenly OF the second class powers
Austria has decided German tendencies,
while Italy would rather lean toward
France. This Alliance can not, therefore,
be an evil, unless unforeseen developments
should materially change In Europe the
present order of things. As it Is now, we
do not believe there is danger of new
Franco German war Germany will not
attack when she IL threatened from the |
east and as for France, she is hardly yet
prepared, and will bides her time. Ger |
many will continue TO remain passively |
watchful of the republic. and however |
loudly the blatant press of that country may |
clamor. there will be no war for the pres |
mt. Russia to the east and France to the !
vest will keep Germany within bounds

The gentleman who bought these clothes
thinks the figures emphasize Mr.. Man
ning's urgent a''vice to Congress to 'untax
the clothing of 60. 600, 600 people"
The plain answer to this Is that there
are not 60, 600, 900 in the United States,
and probably not 10000, who buy their
clothing in London. There are
not one-half the later number
who have the money to buy and
pay for two suits at time. whether Eng
lish or American, that cost S65 each. The
tax upon this kind of clothing falls upon a
very small number of people. The masses,
and particularly the workipgmen. for the
benefit of whom the tax was intended, wear
very different class of goods. Their
suits range from So to $25 each, and they
can get 1.-THE worth of their money In thus
expanding 1t at home, so far as wear is
concerned. much better than the man who
goes to London and pays big premium
for the pleasure of being clad by fashion
able west end tailor. This action is volun
tary on his part; he could without doubt
have purchased just as substantial and pre-
sentable suits in this country (of American
made goods for the same amount of money
that he paid the London tailor. and even
less.
1t is very good reason for keeping up
the duty on foreign clothing that some
Americans are yet to be found who do not
think goods made at home are good enough
for them, or that American tailors
are to be trusted to fit them up
in true English" style. The com
mon people who do the voting that
controls the law making power, and also
the work that has made The United States
the greatest and most prosperous manufac-
turing nation in the world, have not much
sympathy with or respect for those who
scorn the work of their hands and prefer to
go abroad for that which can be made
quite as well at home and at as cheap
rate. We have the testimony of more than
one man who has visited London and made
a study of the subject that goods for the
common people-resdy made suits and
goods to order from ordinary tailor shops
can be purchased as cheaply In any city in
the United States as in England, Compe-
tition at home has done that for the work
ingmen which free traders believe English
competition would do for them if the tariff
were removed
The men who teach the principles of
free trade in this country are usually those
who feel more concern for the price of q
suit OF clothes than for the welfare of the
people. They despise American labor and
refuse to patronize it. And they are in
state of chronic vexation because of the
large profits on the goods that they buy,
part goes to the government, instead of the
whole to their English tailor.-Freeman

THE POOR DRuNKARD.

Most cities in this country make it an of,
fense punishable by fine for being found
on the streets intoxicated. Not unfre
quently is great wrong done to some poor
Unfortunate in the execution of such laws
We have time and again seen some good
natured laboring man who perhaps had
earned little money on some public work
come into some town and imbibe too freely
He Is picked up by the police. and what
little money he has left goes to pay his fine.
We have often felt sorry for these poor IN
fortunates, and have thought real injury
has been wrought by the law instead of a
reform. A very sad case Of this kind took
place in Cincinnati last week. We quote
from the Commercial Gazette: George
F. Weger, the poor unfortunate who ex.
pired on the stone pile among a gang of
work house convicts, was yesterday buried
at St. Joseph's cemetery, Price Hill. Poor
Weger was convicted of drunkenness In the
police court and fined the costs-about two
dollars Unable to pay, he was sent to the
work house to work it out, and expired in
few hours after being put to work. Ty-
biographical Union No. 3, of which de
ceased was member. betrayed the ex
penses of the funeral. Much indignation
prevails among the printers against Col
Ziegler and the work house authorities for
permitting man in Weger's condition
(who had been on long and protracted
s pree) to be placed at such work, exposed
to the rays of the sun, in a temperature
that few healthy persons could stand.
They claim that his death is attributable
either to brutality or ignorance of the
work house authorities, and propose to de-
mand thorough investigation at the hands
of Coroner Rendigs.
